Help please with LG TracPhone

I purchased LG L41C from QVC last OCT and received triple minutes, etc.  Unfortunately, I battled severe illnesses and did not use all my minutes.  I have over 700 minutes, over 600 texts, etc.  My question is:  my minutes, etc. expire in about a week and I am lost.  Do I have to purchase another year for $900 or can I get 90 days?

I may even want to purchase a new one from the Q if they have a Today's Special in November.  I am so confused.  Can you help me?  Many thanks!!

You can buy a new card at most stores.  One year cards cost about $99 and also adds more minutes etc.  There are other cards for example around $20 that add 90 days of service and a smaller number of minutes.  If you don't use your phone a lot you can just buy the $20 cards and that way it only would cost you a total of $80 a year (4x$20).  You won't lose your existing minutes if you apply your new card before your current expiration date.  Wishing you all the best!

If you purchase online you can get as little as 30 days until you decide if you want to purchase a new phone and if you do so before the expiration date you will not loose any minutes you have or you can get a 60 day card just about anywhere.

sobe--go to the web site and buy some more data or texts for $10 each: then everything will roll over and give you another year to use it all. I do this all the time. I think I have until this time next year to use my minutes. And I hardly use minutes--I use texts and data more and all of it is tripled.

Neither texts nor data-only cards extend service days; even the terms written on the cards reflect this.


The pain they have cost us, the evils that never happened.
